In her acceptance speech, Johanna highlighted how thrilled she is to "receive this Award and how great SOLBARI's journey has been in helping individuals enjoy the outdoors safely in the sun with an ongoing mission to help prevent skin cancer and melanoma."
Victorian dermatologists and prominent medical practitioners, business and community leaders, patients and supporters of the Foundation turned out in force to celebrate this great event.
Federal Assistant Minister for Health, the Hon Ken Wyatt AM MP, emphasised the crucial role of educating the community and fighting skin cancer and melanoma.
